CBP officer

[4GodnCntry]

I work for ERO..so I would assume that I would have to take all the steps. I just got my 5 year done a few months ago so I'm hoping they won't need another BI. But if you are CBP.. I think you only have to do the MED/PFT.

You'll need a new BI because MHC has separated hiring processes between ICE and CBP. Both agencies were at one time having BI's and other parts of the process in the same office. As of 2011, MHC is no longer in charge of ICE hiring processes.

I don't know how to swim.

Will that be a problem in FLETC or at any point during this hiring process?

Actually, sir, you are wrong. The term dual citizenship is more slang than anything. The United States doesn't recognize it. You are either a US Citizen, or you are not. Plain and simple.

I don't think there is much "plain and simple" with anything related to the government or it's policies. I agree it may or may not be used as more of a slang term, but, none the less it does exist. However it probably was the case not too many years ago that it did not exist. But, like previously mentioned I believe there have been Supreme Court rulings that have changed things.....

Just passed my PFT2, I failed 2 years ago. Re-applied, went through a lot of the process again.
I EOD On Aug 11, FLETC from Sept 9 - Jan 22. Anyone else going to be down there?

Yessir. I'll be at the academy starting August 13. Future and USMC will be there a few days after. Moten will be there. I believe he will be in your class since his academy dates are the same.

You might want to start taking some lessons. I know for BP we had a lot of swimming related training. I am not sure about for CBPO. However, they will let you use a life jacket.....

Don't worry about that, no where on the announcement it mention you are required to swim or need to know how to. :-)

Some people just use a life vest etc.
worry about PT if anything good luck.

Hi Fellows,
is there anybody on this forum who have or know someone who have gone through the selective service verification process? If so how long did it take for the MHC / OPM to make a decision?
I wasn't obliged to register for selective service and was exempted by the selective service system yet OPM is conducting a full-fledged investigation to verify just that claim before i can proceed. It's been almost 9 weeks and iam still waiting on the verification results. can anybody please share his/her experience with me? The waiting is making me quite anxious lately. Thanks a lot

This will probably take quite some time because selective service is taken very, very seriously. It is most definitely not a simple phone call to get an answer as to why you are/were exempt. It will take some time.

You better learn to swim if you want to enjoy all the free time at the beach!!!!
But seriously, there's no swimming involved.

There was a poster a few weeks ago (Can't remember their name) who had the same issue. From what I remember it was a big mess and somewhere around 6-8 months to work out.

Good luck on your EOD tomorrow Future!

TO WLLYBLCK
REGARDING SELECTIVE SERVICE
U.S. Code › Title 5 › Part III › Subpart B › Chapter 33 › Subchapter I › § 3328
5 U.S. Code § 3328 - Selective Service registration
UNLESS YOU WERE SUPER DUPER SPECIAL....YOU LEGALLY HAD TO REGISTER. MOST OF US DID IT IN HIGHSCHOOL. I COULD SEE WHY THE FEDS MIGHT BE A LITTLE UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER REGISTERED.

I live in NY but my drivers license is from CT

will this be a problem at any point?
